Installation

Location of 12 pin connector

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's 12-pin wiring harness located behind the passenger's-side kick panel.


Location of OEM connector

Once you've plugged in the 12-pin connector, plug the 4-way harness in beneath the vehicle, behind the driver's side rear bumper


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

by:

This kit has exactly what my 2015 frontier needed. The pieces are good quality and everything for exactly as it should. The instructions were accurate and I was able to install everything, but some steps were a little vague and a couple of additional pics would have made them more clear. Additionally, a mounting bracket for the trailer connector would be a great addition.



by:

Everything came as planned. The wiring harness worked perfect. The video made it very simple.



by:

Wiring harness fit my Nissan Xterra perfectly. Took about 15 minutes to hook everything up and the trailer lights all work as expected. Very happy with the harness, relays, and trailer connector.



by:

Connects perfectly with the stock wiring. Looks factory. Good product to have if your Xterra didn’t come with a tow package

Been good after a year. Still works as expected!



by:

Excellent product. The installation process couldn't be easier.



by:

This was not listed as an exact fit but worked perfect with my 2024 Nissan Frontier. It all plugged into the factory wiring. Made for a very easy instillation.



by:

I received my hitch and wiring harness kit for my 2019 Frontier within a few days after ordering. The items were well packaged, and nothing was damaged. The install instructions/video on your website were spot on. I had the whole thing installed and ready to go in less than an hour. Fit and finish of the etrailer hitch is very nice for the price. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com to others.



by:

This wiring harness plugged in and the install only took about 15 minuites start to finish. It worked great!



by:

Easy installation... the online videos really helped.
I had an existing harness that was installed with the hitch and the running lights were not working and the shop couldn't figure out the problem!
I removed the passenger side panel and saw the relays were missing. I decided to just tackle the fix myself and it worked out great.



by:

Great product! Wish I'd bought this first.
I wasted alot of time trying to get running lights on my Nissan Xterra pigtail. I had brake and turn signal only. Excellent customer service- Molly solved problem with this harness. Best of all - she saved me over $200.00 that Nissan wanted just to diagnose problem. If I can install this, anyone can. It only took 10 minutes and I had running lights.
Thank you



by:

This was easy, clear instructions, simple procedure



by:

Very simple install, plug and play electrical connections, very simple to use and very good quality product. Very happy it was put on in PA on Friday afternoon and hauled a uhal trailer to GA Saturday morning. Had 0 issues. Definitely a 5 star rating



by:

provided everything I needed and more. It was securely packaged and in mint condition. I will be able to tow my trailer legally when it's dark.

Exceptional. No problems at all.

Looks good, haven't installed it yet.



by:

Right part for the right car. Order shipped the day I placed it, arrived earlier than scheduled. Combined with their numerous videos on installation, hard to think of a better service package out there. So easy, so simple. And for less than half what my local parts shop quoted (and didn’t have in stock)
I’ve got three emails confirming order, shipment and delivery.

I’ll be back when it’s time to wire up the Rogue.



by:

Just what I needed. Works great.

Very easy to install worked great

@AllenH That is great to hear Allen! Those plug and play harnesses really make it easy. How often are you using it to tow with?


by:

Really great, it went in easy .I had Some help ,a salamander lounged near the rear wheel .possibly in a drunken stupor..
However, we both enjoy the wiring install (how often does anyone say that.) it snapped right into place !
By the time it takes a drunken salamander to dose off ..well job done !

Everything was on time and fit like a glove. Easy tracking shipment. Well done etrailer

Would your boss say the same thing about you, Matthew? Just some food for thought...:)

It was awesome great product delivered great



by:

I purchased a wiring kit and hitch ball for my new 2016 Nissan Frontier. The truck does not have the factory tow package. However, it does have a class-II tow bumper and Nissan sends them all pre-wired for lighting, but not activated.

The kit I ordered from etrailer had everything I needed to activate the factory wiring harness (a couple of simple, plug-in relays) and a 4-pin flat plug that also just plugged into the factory pigtail at the rear of the truck. Added a bracket for the flat plug (also from etrailer) and in about 30 minutes I was good to go.

I consider myself above average in the shade-tree mechanic stuff, but I think pretty much anyone could do this installation. It was simple and straightforward. They even have a very helpful video of the install procedure online.

Based upon this purchase, I would consider etrailer for any future purchases I may have for trailering products and their shipping was fast and well packaged too.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Light Circuit of 2018 Nissan Frontier Not Active
    On certain Nissan vehicles like yours an additional blue relay is sometimes needed to activate the trailer running lights circuit. This appears to be the case with your 2018 Nissan Frontier since this circuit isn't active. This is a very common issue surprisingly. For the relay by itself you can use part # 38666-1 and the harness you need to access to plug the relay in is indeed located in the cab behind the panel to the right of the passenger's foot panel. It sometimes can be located...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Light Circuit Not Functioning on Nissan Frontier
    Trailer running lights not working with certain Nissan vehicles is a common problem with an easy fix. There is a relay for the trailer running light circuit that is located in the fuse box (in the cab). If that relay is missing or no longer functions then it can be replaced with one of the blue relays from the Curt Relay Kit # C57000. The relay of the running light circuit on your Nissan Frontier is in the relay harness behind the passenger floorboard kick panel. If you check out the...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness and Mounting Brackets for a 2016 Nissan Frontier
    We do have a variety of trailer connectors and mounting brackets that you can use on your 2016 Nissan Frontier. If you need a 4-Way Flat connector then the Hopkins # HM43575 will work if you have the tow package. If you don't have the tow package then I recommend the Curt # C56225. You can mount either of these using the Tow Ready # 18144 with a no-drill bracket like part # 18140. I have attached some installation videos and the instructions for you to check out.

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working on 2012 Nissan Xterra
    The issue is likely the relay for the running lights. The relay is attached to a wiring harness which is located behind the passenger side kick panel near the passenger door (see picture). You should see a harness with 2 blue relays and a larger brown relay. If both relays are there, then the relay is likely bad and should be replaced with the Curt Relay # C57000. If you do not see a harness with relays, then it is likely that the harness wasn't installed. Unfortunately, this harness...

  • How to Determine if 2005 Nissan Frontier has Tow Package for Installing Trailer Wiring
    The pin needed to install the # 118263 will be on the frame of the truck, but what matters most is whether or not the rest of the tow package wiring will be present. You would need to remove the passenger side kick panel to the right of where a passengers right foot would be. If there is a harness plugged in there that looks like what's picture then all you would need is the # 118263. If not you would need the part # C56225 instead.

    Installation of the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56225 that fits your 2019 Nissan Frontier (without a factory connector) is very straightforward, but installing a harness on a Nissan does require the use of relays, which are included with this kit.

  • Are Relays Required to Activate the Trailer Wiring Harness on a Nissan Frontier
    On the Nissan Frontier and other Nissan vehicles, if the vehicle did not come with a factory tow package it will not have a functioning wiring harness even if one, like # 118263, is added. There will be relays that will need to be inserted to make the trailer wiring harness fully functional. If your Nissan did not come with a factory tow package, you would need to use wiring harness # C56225.

    That's because the Curt item # C56225 fits the 2005 - 2021 Nissan Frontiers. The correct one for your 2023 Nissan Frontier is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118525 for a 4-Way or item # 118266 for a 7-Way. I have linked a couple of installation videos below for both parts so you can see how to get them set up.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2019 Nissan Frontier
    Hey Marvin, for your 2019 Nissan Frontier we have direct fit trailer wiring options like with the Curt part # C56226 for a 7-way or the part # C56225 if you need a 4-way. 7-Way connectors are the round ones and 4-ways are the flat ones you see on smaller trailers typically.

  • Are Relays Needed to Activate Tow Package Wiring in 2012 Suzuki Equator
    If the 4-pole connector you speak of was factory installed, everything should already be functional. If you've just installed a 4-ploe, using a part like # 118263, then the relay kit # C57000 would be needed. The brown relay activates the 12-volt circuit to the trailer connector (which you won't need since you have a 4-pole) and the two blue relays activate the right and left turn signal and brake lamp. Since you mentioned that you got a signal at the trailer connector with the turn signals,...

Option 1: The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118266.

I have attached a video of us installing the Curt T-Connector # C56225 on a 2019 Frontier that you can use for reference. For an OEM wiring kit I'm not sure if the relay is in the same location or not. I wasn't able to find anything in the online version of your owner's manual.
